Can someone who has been able to connect their Sprint Mega please share how in the hell you accomplished this? While I can sit here and connect my Note 3 all day long, I cannot get the Mega to connect. There is no USB icon in the status bar. Win 7 makes the connected sound but there is zero connection. I just want to root this stupid thing,
Hi..I am going to take a wild guess here..the usb cable you are using did it come with your note 3 or your mega as if not try the one that came with the mega..and make sure it is pushed in quickly and a little firm as sometimes the mega will not connect..not sure why it does this..but happens to me once and a while and I am using the usb cable that came with my mega..but mine is the i527m.

I spent three hours with Moto level two tech support to try to get either the phone portal or the media sync to work on windows 7 32 bit pro running Chrome 15, EI 9, and firefox 5 to work correctly either via usb or wifi. I keep getting security blocks (insecure content) even though I whitelist the IP address/port and no program is blocking it.
When on USB media sync just sits there trying to connect with the phone until it times out.
I have had an Epic 4g work, A HTC EVO3D work and it strikes me that the Moto software just sucks. What Level two said was to go back two to three generations on my browsers to try that as that is what they developed it for. Great, the wonderful software development team at Moto did not test the new product on anything remotely close to current software.
Plus I can not get the damn thing to recognize the unit on any powered usb hub. I have to dedicate a port directly from my computer (never had to do that before even in the Palm days).
I left Samsung due to their ineptness in software development for the Epic 4g waiting for updates but now I wonder if I made an even worse choice with the Photon software capability.
Phone portal is working great for me on Wifi. That's all I've tried.

I have it running both ways worked for moment I hooked up my phone
It works for me on Win 7 64 with the latest browsers installed.

Working for me via USB and WiFi. Plugged it in the minute I got home with my MoPho and windows 7 (64bit) downloaded the software and drivers. Easy Street!

Currently to me ubuntu running on top of android is pointless but intriguing. Is it possible to connected an external Usb wifi adapter to the phone and have it recognized in ubuntu? More simply put can the phone allow the needed data through the USB interface? I cannot be the only one considering the joy of running Airpwn on a mobile phone... Any thoughts? If the wifi adapter is possible it opens up a whole new box of abilities for the phone.

Went ahead and ordered http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUS036H-Wireless-Long-Rang-Panel/dp/B003YI4HRM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
And a couple microusb to Usb adapters to test with.. I'll let yall know if I'm successful when I get everything.

I've been thinking about this since i got the Note. Glad to see someone is thinking along the same lines.
I'm looking forward to seeing your results.
I should have the wifi adapter this week but the damn 50 cent microusb adapter will take until the 1st. Some odd reason I didn't feel like paying for shipping on something that costs 50cents.

Funny I just ordered an Ethernet to usb adapter for similar purposes. I want to see if I can use Android to do network testing so I dont have to carry a laptop with me.
Looking forward to seeing your results. I will post mine as well.
PS. How do you get Ubuntu to run on the Note?

Never thought of that. Now that I'm its a bit scary from a network security standpoint. Having a small easly hidden device hooked into an ethernet network and just running wireshark or ethereal. Lol

It is possible to get Ubuntu running via a virtual machine setup (emulating Ubuntu on the phone inside Android). The other possibility is a remote desktop option.
The two problems however:
1. Most USB devices require power - something I dont believe the phone puts out thru the USB micro port.
2. Getting direct access to the hardware (required for most of these types of tools to work) is not likely possible via a VM or Remote Desktop situation.
My guess is, this wont work, but Im a glass half full kind of guy.
A little OT but does anyone know if Ubuntu (via Ubuntu installer free app) works on SauRom?
Tried to get working but I couldn't start the shell. I'm thinking the bottleneck is the kernel, not sure if it allows multiple loops or something like that

1. I thought about the power requirements after I bought it and so far I haven't been able to find any data on how much power the phone can supply through the USB port but seeing how the MHL requires additional power I might have to get creative to get power to the wifi adapter.
2. As long as the phone recognizes the wifi adapter as a host I don't think I'll have any problems with it inside the ubuntu VM. If I do I might be able to do alittle kernel work to make it communicate properly.
I'm trying to be optimistic as I really want it to work. Plus if integrating the wifi adapter directly fails I have a back up plan... Arduino to the rescue.

I'm not an expert on all things linux, but the chroot method isn't a virtual machine, it should be full fledged linux on the hardware.
Android runs all processes in a VM. But anyways I have it all working.

I have all the needed drivers for my wifi adapter cross compiled one set for the current ICS and one for GB. The ICS you need to manually install the drivers from terminal and the GB is already included into my custom kernel. If anyone is interested let me know. At this moment I do not plan on putting it out in the public in the development forum...

On the same page. I cringe when I order something on Amazon for 3.99 and there's 6 dollars shipping.

I created a small video demonstrating printing via OTG host
I did this because i have come across several people saying they cant get it to work, and this is mostly because they are expecting the stock print buttons to work

I tried to use more than 1 device by connectibg a usb hub, but this did nit work
Are there dual OTG cables available, ir is 1 device the limit ?
Would be nice to connect a printer and a keyboard

Check this video out:

Pretty much confirms that certain types of USB hubs will work and work well!
Ahh. Cool.. Will try some more hubs

hi, thanks for the video. unfortunately i'm at work for the next 25 days (at sea on a boat) and I cannot access youtube from the work computers. Can you detail the process for me? Is an app or script involved?
I plugged a printer into my phone and it popped up saying printer connected so i thought I'd look online to see if anyone got it working. and you did. well done
So I had a rooted galaxy s3 connected it to the head unit with an mhl adapter and worked no problem. Now I have upgraded to an S5 and I can connect it through BT, but when I connect it with HDMI and the mhl adapter it connects then disconnects a second later. This keeps happening over and over in a loop. I am trying to use the Pandora app and run it through the head unit. I also bought the newer white adapter and it does the same thing. I tested both mhl adapters and my S5 to my TV and that works perfectly. Anyone have any experience with this?
Did I post this in the correct section?
Anyone? No one can help me out? I've been searching forever!
bump, still need help...
From what I e heard you don't need adapter as S5 does music through USB now. Haven't tried but others have

So just try to connect it to the head unit directly through USB? I'm going to try that tomorrow and report back. Thanks!

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 that needed a charging port, I replaced the,part myself this past weekend and now all of the sudden it only registers to anything that is a Samsung part when it comes to charging or sync....Nothing else, tried other cables and no luck.... Then I wanted to transfer something out of my flash drive via OTG and once again NO LUCK whatsoever. So what could be the problem with this? Do I now have to get genuine oem accessories in order to utilize this phone or is there something missing that I didn't get to do software wise.
